Abstract

A program-controlled unit has debug resources for monitoring the operations proceeding within the program-controlled unit. The program-controlled unit described is distinguished by the fact that the debug resources contain a CPU, and/or that a portion of the debug resources is provided for monitoring the operations proceeding within the remainder of the debug resources. Debug resources constructed in this way make it possible for errors occurring in program-controlled units to be localized and eliminated rapidly and simply under all circumstances.
